This important news requires confirmation. Pants, JAN. 6.

Letters from Warsaw, of the 27th December, do not announce the departure of the Emperor Constantine. No public act had yet informed Poland that Constantine accepted the succession e( his brother. It is probable he was still at Warsaw on the 30th, as no news of his having left it has reached Paris to day (8111 January). The Count de St. Priest is to go as Envoy Es- Unordinary to St. Peterhburgh, to compliment the new Emperor.

'• ' • * " We are gratified to hear that the lords of the Admiralty have given directions for building another class of ships on the several principles of Sir Robert Seppings (the Surveyor of the Navy) the School of Naval Architecture, and Captain flayes, R.N. The frigates ; of 20 guns, are to he built at Portsmouth and Wool wick ' ards, in which the plans of these scientific projectors are to be worked out, and their comparative excellence after wards put to the test, by experimental cruising. It is a difficult, and, with all the knowledge we possess, a very defectiye, but highly important, science; and Rim only by a course or expeei., mcnts that any improvement in it can be attained. It ought not to be said, with truth, by any other power on the face of the globe, that they build better ships than we do. Their Lordships have also ordered two sloops of war to be built at Chatham, on plan of the Pylades (Sir Robert Seppings') enlarged and alter- ed ; two at Pembroke, on the plan of the Orestes (D r . I n - 1 1 man's); and Captain Hayes is to build one at Portsmouth on his plan, which shall excel the Champion in every qualification. Lieut. Charles Gordon, of the Ariadne, is promoted to the rank of Commander. Messrs. Barker, Espiegle; Edwin Wise, - Jasper ; Erskine, Volage ; and Evans, Victory,---are promoted to the rank o f Li eutenant. Lieut. P.

UNION-HALL—This day William Sheely , a journeyman silk-weaver, charged by ;Edward Wilson, a silk-manufacturer, of Streatham, with leaving work in an unfinished state, and having received money on account of such work. Mr. Wilson produced an agreement signed by the prisoner to pay mie half of his daughter's wages towards liquidating the debt,and 3s.per week from from hisown. Mr. Williams stated, that the pri soner and daughter were in the habit of earn. ing from 355. to 40s. per week, this was denied by him, as he had the money advanced when the Firm had no work to give, us was the custom of the trade. Sheely stated, that he was in work. at present, and that a week ago he sent a letter by his daughter (which was read), requesting Mr. Wilson either to take it at so much per week, or to give him employ to Work it out. He also said that it was his intention to have re mained with Mr. Wilson, but misfortunes and poverty prevented him from fulfilling his agree ment. But there were two housekeepers present who would be security for the liqui dation of the Alebt, which the Magistrate advised to be accepted, observing, that the trade (lid wrong, when they had no work to advance money to people such as the prisoner, for, how ever good the principle, it was utterly impossible to repay it. The present depressed state of the silk trade has led to soma most deplorable events. On Monday, the 2d instant; Mr. WATTS, silk throw stet., of Biddulph, near Congleton, put a period to his existence by shooting himself, and in con sequence of the distress of mind occasioned by this melancholy event on the family of the de• ceased, his daughter, a young lady about 25 years of ►►ge, suspended herself from a beam in her late father's mill. Also Mr. WILD, a respectable throwster, in the same neighbourhood, came to the like lamentable end by cutting his own throat with a razor. THE SLAVE TRADE. his Majesty's ship Ariadne, 28, Captain J.

Owen; Barra coots, Captain Vidal; and Albatross schooner, composing the surveying squadron, about to proceed to the coast of Africa.— The Ariadne arrived at St. Helena on the sth November, and left the Bth. When' on a cruise, on the 25th of September, off St: Lucia's Bay, on the weal end of Madagascar, the officer of the watch announced a schooner being in sight in the roads of that anchorage, on hearing which, Captain Chapman sent the first cutter,• under the command of Lieutenant Eversfield, with the second cutter in company, under the island of St. Lucia, to board the said schooner, being under an impression that she was a slaver. On the first cutter's heaving in sight of the vessel, she set her fore-top sail, and cut her cables, and run on shore on the beach ; on her doing so, Lieutenant Evers field ordered Mr. N e l son to fire a musket, but to be care ful not to fire on board her : this he rep eated and the%se conci cutter followed t h e commanding officer's motions. On Lieutenant Eversfield boarding the schooner, lie observed seve ral bodies floating he then ordered the boats with a part of the crew, to pick up th ose who were drowning, and they succeeded in saving a great many of the unfortunate slaves. On Lieutenant Eversfield's arrival nn board, he endeavoured to quell the fears of the negroes, and the poor creatures soon discovered, from the humane conduct of their captors, that their lot was at least:to be ameliorated: they were released from their confinement, and ate and drank of all they could find on boatil, voraciously, as they were nearly famishing, and suffered greatly from want of water; indeed, it is almost impossible to conceive the dreadful situation in which these slaves were when taken, cooped up in so small a vessel as scarcely to be able to move, and deprived of air from 11:::ir mode of confinement : the only food they had had was a kind of common bean, and the little water allowed them was very bad. It was really gratifying to see the joy now d e pi cte d en the care-worn c o unt enances o f t h ese poor beings. Lieutenant Eversfield, with the assistance of the master. Sir. Thompson, who had by this time arrived in the gig, end eavoured to get the schooner off, but could not succeed, as she had been scut tled in the act of running on shore. No papers or documents of any kind were found on board. She proved to be the Walter Farquhar, a notorious vessel in the slave trade. The slaves, furniture, &c. saved, were afterwards condemned by the Admiralty Court at the Mauritius.—(Hampthire Telegraph.) ST. PETER AD VINCULA is well known that there is a small church within the walls of the Tower of London, dedicated to St. Peter ad Vincula, but it is not perhaps so generally known what is the origin of this title. The following extract from the Sarum Breviary will explain it A certain Roman Captain, culled Quirinus, had a daughter whose namewas Balbina, who had a disease in her throat. This Captain kept Saint Alexander the Po le shut up in prison. Thismaiden his daughter, went oft to the prison where blessed Pope St. Alexander was kept bound in chains; and she kissed the chains wherewith the Saint was bound, which she did hoping to recover health thereby. To whom Alexander said, " My daughter, do not kiss these' chains, but go and seek the chains where with St. Peter was boUnd, and kiss them, and thereby thou shalt be cured." She immediately came to her father, and told him what sh e had heard from the aforesaid Pope, which when her father had heard he sent messengers to inquire for the prison where the Apostle litid been .hound, and from thence to bring with them St. Peter's chain, which they (lid ; and the said maid kissing them was presently perfectly reco. vered. After this, blessed A lexander coming oat of prison, appointed this solemnity to be kept on the Calends of August in honour of St. Peter, and in his name built a church which is called Petri ad Vincula, in which solemnity they say that his chains are devoutly kissed by the people." The canvass for the University of Cambridge is proceeding with unabated activity. The AT TORNEY.GENERAL has a Committee sitting in London, and another at Cambridge, where he has, a second time, personally canvassed all the resident voters. Lord PALMERSTO N 13 flow a t Cambridge, and Mr. BANIERS returned there from Norwich, a few days since. Mr. GOULBUIIN has returned to Ireland, but he has u Committee still assembled in London. • * For London Markets, see the Third, and for Country Markets, see the Fourth Page.
